I always start games being (or trying to be) fun and then I get jaded and frustrated. Give it time.

… we were both scum in the last game we played I suppose.
We were on different teams though. I’ll just use that as entirely concrete evidence that we’re on different teams again, so you must be scum in this one.

We had this exact argument in the last game we were in! I’m lazy so I expect other people to be lazy too!
You were scum in the last game as well!
You’re here chatting about how folks should look at previous games as markers for how people act in certain situations and making identical arguments as when you were scum. What conclusions should we draw from this?

This is true you haven’t said anything to Snowkiller. I’m mixing up sofanthiel and Snowkiller there.
Regardless, you’ve offered advice to a newer player, which falls within the remit of the question I asked following that sentence.
You know I don’t like it when folks edit out context :p

I’m assuming you’re claiming town and haven’t just outed yourself and your scum partner EP :p
What makes you so sure EP is on your team?
Eliminating someone on D1 allows the town to choose what information is revealed, and the elimination is also the town’s only weapon against scum. A 2/9 chance of hitting an baddie is better than an 0% chance of hitting a baddie, eh? Otherwise the scum get to choose who to kill, and they’re not going to choose someone that’ll help the town solve the game.
Also, being fickle (at least on D1) isn’t a bad idea. Pushing lots of different people to actually contribute means it’s harder for scum to hide. The trick is doing it in such a way that looks genuine (scum won’t be pressured by someone obviously just doing the rounds) and sticking on things that bother you about someone. The other trick is learning the right things to stick on…

What are your ideas for the day? Other than answering the same questions multiple times…
‘Cause another thing scum do with newbies is offer advice. It makes them look active and helpful, while actually being neither. You, me, Max, and EP have all jumped on Snowkiller for guidance. Would you say there’s scum in that grouping?

Oh you can post as many times in a row as you want in mafia without repercussion.
Also Toony broh, you know that someone’s status as a newbie has nothing to do with their alignment. If you’re liking EP and Snowkiller, who are you not liking?

« on: August 16, 2023, 04:21:46 pm »if you boil it down enough (no pun intended) everything is arbitrarily chosen anyway. Something that has application to what you’re doing (surviving, in this instance) is a good enough start.You can keep food fresh with it at 0, and you can cook with it at 100 (or thereabouts anyway).Those aren't even the best temperatures to do those things, but even if they were, why would keeping food fresh at 0 be "logical" compared to any other number? Why would I want a temperature scale based entirely on what you can do with food, using arbitrarily chosen numbers?

Water is something you’ll actively encounter every day and has application at all states, for the most part. You can keep food fresh with it at 0, and you can cook with it at 100 (or thereabouts anyway).

« on: August 16, 2023, 03:16:12 pm »Caz, Crystalizedmire, Elephant Parade, Snowkiller, and sofanthiel: Have you read any recent games on this forum for a better understanding of what to expect? The life you save could be your own.
ToonyMan flatters me, therefore ToonyMan is town.
I’m not sure he can be trusted. I’m apparently deception, and he was on my team in the last game; he knows better.
EP: I mean right now, I believe you are the best elimination, but that’s based entirely on my pregame banter, so it’s serious in that respect. However, that’s in the first few hours of D1 and if you remain the best elimination based entirely on my pregame banter at the end of D1 then the town’s probably lost, even if you are scum.
Snowkiller
Snowkiller: what do you look for in a D1 elimination?I'm new to this game genre but I don't think I "look" for anything in D1, unless the person slips up and says something sus. It's the first day. I don't know enough about the game in general nor the people in this particular instance to say "yay" or "nay" on lynching. That's why I usually go for no lynch in the critically few mafia games I've been in.
Ninja Edit: Yes, Maximum Spin. I've been using various resources to get up to speed on the mafia game and its various formats. I'm still not an expert and will likely look dumb for the entirety of this game.
Don’t worry about looking dumb. I’ve played mafia on and off for maybe the last decade and the last game I was in I made two shockingly stupid mistakes that contributed to my team losing the game. It’s better to try and look dumb than do nothing, ‘cause doing nothing will lose you the game.

« on: August 16, 2023, 02:25:34 pm »I agree that it'd be worth prodding the people who haven't posted yet with an RVS question, but you've already done that, and is there much difference between one RVS question than two?
Maximum Spin: Have we already left RVS? Is there any point in going back?
I’m not entirely convinced we are out of RVS, to be fair. As for RVS questions, the game is won and lost on the activity of the town really, and anything that encourages that is (broadly speaking) good.
What is it that has you convinced we’re out of RVS?

Eh, RVS is a nebulous beast. People get out of it at different speeds sometimes, might as well ask the questions and try to get everyone involved eh.
